Shower tray repair in Tapton, done in place
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the repair lasts. We work on acrylic, cast iron and ceramic, and the jobs we see most are snagging damage in a new bathroom and a tray that looks tired however much you clean it.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back.

Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Tapton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The material, if you know it
- Details of any past repairs
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Common questions in Tapton
How much does shower tray repair cost in Tapton?
Repairs from £95. The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can I use the shower again?
Normally by the following day. We’ll confirm before we leave.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, if the tray is firmly supported. The crack is reinforced, filled and refinished.
Is a cracked shower tray safe to use?
We’d stop using it until it’s repaired, in case water is getting through.
Do you reseal the tray as well?
We can. After a repair is a good time to reseal.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you need shower tray repair in Tapton?

You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Movement when you stand on it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Cracks running from the waste
- A damaged area around the waste

Aftercare tips
After the repair has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Report any creaking or movement early
- Check the seal every few months
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner
Keep an eye on the sealant, and replace it when it splits or goes black.
Stop using the shower if the tray is cracked. Water can get through to the floor and walls, and the damage below is not visible.
Repair or replace in Tapton?
The tray is normally the last thing fitted and the first thing tiled up to, so taking one out disturbs a lot. A repair keeps everything as it is. Prices start from £95. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours for a repair, longer for a full resurface, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We make sure the tray doesn’t flex and look for the cause of any crack.
- Next we clean and prepare the tray.
- Chips and cracks are filled, reinforced and sanded level.
- We colour-match the repair, or spray a new finish across the entire tray.
- Once cured, normally by the next day, you can use the shower.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice
What your shower tray is made of matters
Ceramic
Ceramic gives a hard, high-gloss surface. They chip and crack from impact, and the repair is polished to match the shine.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so it’s worth repairing early.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
